President Uhuru Kenyatta‘s speech elicited mixed reactions from leaders across the political divide. Leaders allied to the Jubilee government lauded the President on his tough stand on runaway graft, but those from the Opposition discredited his administration for failing to stamp out the corruption monster and resorting to intimidation.
Senators Boni Khalwale and Hassan Omar scoffed at the President‘s warning, saying there was nothing new in his script.
